As a film sound designer and fan of spatial sound, I think it’s very important for cinema sound to be mixed and reviewed in the same type of environment as a movie theatre, in other words with a projection screen and the front speakers behind the "acoustically transparent" screen. Working with a hard screen like a big TV means placing the front speakers outside the screen, which leads to difficulties in correctly panning across the front speakers.
For cost reasons many edit and design rooms are equipped with flat panel displays of various types. That easily delivers the best picture quality for the money. If that is what you do I’d place the LCR monitors below or above the screen with the L and R speakers’ high frequency drivers placed within the screen area. Best of luck!
